The Sustainable Cleaning Brush Set offers a variety of brush sizes for cleaning a wide range of items, including narrow vases, spouts, large glasses, and bottles.

These brushes are specifically designed for each unique shape and space. Made with natural pig bristles, they provide a thorough scrub without causing any damage, thanks to the soft wool tips. This makes them perfect for delicate items such as glassware, frames, computer parts, and more.

The flexible wire handles allow for easy maneuvering, and the dense pig bristles and wool tips ensure a deep clean. Each brush also comes with a loop end for convenient hanging storage.
